The ship motion system is a nonlinear control object, and its system parameters exhibit time-varying characteristics with the ship motion state, which increases the difficulty of control. Therefore, parameter identification has an important significance for the stability of ship motion control. Aiming at the real-time identification problem of the nonlinear and time-varying ship motion system during movement, this paper reconstructs the ship motion system with the propeller speed and rudder angle as control variables and designs an online identification algorithm with the sliding time window method based on the extended Kalman filter algorithm. In addition, to solve the problem of noise in ship motion data collected in real-time, a real-time wavelet filter is developed to perform online preprocessing of the input data of the identification algorithm. The applicability of the method is further demonstrated via a model-scale Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering container ship free-running experiments in a basin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
